    This lady is the greatest. Honestly, there is such joy in her performances, I exaggerate not: it's the same experience LVH 's No.9: Schiller's Ode to Joy. I'm always in good spirits viewing an upload.

      @@fredgarvin9262 The dancing traditions of Ireland are likely to have grown in tandem with Irish traditional music. Its first roots may have been in Pre-Christian Ireland, but Irish dance was also partially influenced by dance forms on the Continent, especially the quadrille dances. Some of the earliest recorded references to Irish dance are to the Rinnce Fada or "long dance", towards the end of the 17th century.
      This is a unique Irish dance which originated from a variety of different things in Ireland and was later brought to the colonies In America by Irish emigrants giving rise to freestyle American folk dance.
      There is nothing French about it.

      @@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 this is a fascinating history. There's very little info in wikipedia re the origins of Sean Nós, apart from the claim it originated in Connemara. Set dancing is clearly based on European dance styles and on the quadrille. The French quadrille grew out of contredanse which in turn came from English country dance. These dances influenced the English court already in the early 15th Century.
      Sean nós would appear to be the earlier form of Irish dance. (Would be interesting to see was there an equivalent in old France, but if so, maybe in Brittany in which case would be hard to argue which came first. Personally don't care about the nationality, I love the connections.)

      @@sdrtcacgnrjrc There's no dance similar to Sean nos dance in Britanny or france, sean nos dancing is a very unique style of dance which blends the Norman earlier dances of the continent of europe with the celtic dances in Ireland. There's nothing to really argue about here, all music and dance is a combination of other things from different cultures.

    Great to see old time step dancing being kept alive - from Scotland, Ireland, England, France and all the way with settlers to Canada. Much more fun than modern judged competition dancing, which can stifle individuality. Mind you, I was a bit alarmed to see judges at tables. I hope folks are the ultimate judges, and dancers are not just dancing to please the judges.

      Yes she is being judged and it is a competition,but sean nos isn't a completely competition style the way conventional irish step is.I don't have a problem with a competitive element great dancers should be recognised and rewarded for dedication to their craft as long as it doesnt take over.As far as i know this girl is a school teacher and she isn't making a living out of it yet she is a great dancer and deserves to be awarded for that.

    No such thing as sean nos dancing. The term is a recent creation promulgated by internet nonsense. There is Irish dancing,period. There is Sean Nos singing, or “old style” ,distinguished by no musical accompaniment,and vocal ornamentation. Applying “Sean Nos” to Irish Dance is nonsense made up by people who thought “step dancing” sounded too provincial. Cease and desist.

      Of course it originally wouldn't be referred to as Sean nos. We only call something "old" in retrospect.
